The AHC has completed a project to digitize over 900 negatives from Rawlins-area photographer Frank Meyers.

Frank J. Meyers (1890-1973) purchased the Rawlins photography business of Hugh J. Rogner in 1923. Meyers ran the business for 50 years until his death. In 1945 he opened a summer studio in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he developed scenic photographs into large photograph murals. He was a Grand Master of the Wyoming Masons and president of the Rocky Mountain Professional Photographers Association.

The digitization of this collection was partially funded by the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, which in 2010 awarded the AHC a $10,000 to digitize over 7,000 images from six of its premier photographic collections.
